Be it known that I, CARLETON Ennis, a'citi- :en of the: United-' States;- and resident of Larclimont; in: the-countyofWestchester and 5 'State of New York, have made'ce'rtai-r'i-newa'nd' useful Inventions "Relating to Finish- R'emovers;r ofwhibhthefollowing is aspecification. .T Y i This ilrventiomrelates tki finish removers,

The raw sod'ium plfenate or carbolate of commerce from: :which' ure-earbolic acid is prepared "may-be dist-i1 'd -'infa suitable *ap- 1 paratus with tlftrso'diunr-alcoholic sulfate, the alcoholic henates being: given ofiat temperaturesnpto-l'? 9' G. or'so. In this case," the denatured alcohol containing ethyland methyl alcohols as wellassome other material, the phenate" of'-.'denatured ethylalcoholof-course contains ethyl and methyl ca'rbola'tes, cresylatesand-' other material. Of course, the pure ethyl carbolatemay be prepared by similarly distilling purje sodium carbolate withthe-a1coholate formed by treating: pure"methyl alcohol with concen-'= trated sulfuric/acid. and" then neutralizing 40 it with soda; Suitable phenates may'also formed by-esterifit'e-"ation of alcoholic bodies, such, for example as by the esterification of ethyl, methy oramyl alcohol with carbolic acid or other phenolic acid material in a suitable digester. Mixed-phenates are preferably produced in this way combined with the additional acidmaterial to the desired extent 1 these esters having a very desirable ameliorating effect on the acid bodies 1 so and being in themselves desirable solvent ingredients for removers in many cases. Meth l carbolate, for instance, is a mobile liqui of pleasant aromatic odorhaving a point of about 152 C. and cone solvent action.
